I honestly thinks that's for the better. Basically, you patent, tells everyone how it works, and have the rights.
The move your described, you don't tell anyone anything and still have the rights... And that means i may be investing a lot of work on something only you will be able to profit from because i didn't know you invented it.
Basically this stops people from having the cake and eating it too.

You don't still have the rights, others can independently invent it and you can't stop. You can only stop them if you file a patent. This is way worse.

Too bad about China.
